London’s Tower Bridge opened the bridge using steam from its opening till the 1970s. Coal was burned in two huge boilers and the steam created drove this huge engine. The engine would cause giant pistons to rise up. The pistons would then be released and hydrolics would open the counter-weighted roadway to allow taller craft up the River Thames.
All the years I did a twice daily walk across London Bridge and saw Tower Bridge opening on a regular basis, yet never knew how it was operated! We learn something new every day, for sure. Excellent photo buddy. Peter
Thanks Peter! It’s all electric these days! *_:)_* Tony.

HDR doesnt normally do it for me, but it does here
Thanks Mike! There’s a touck of HDR to bring out some definition, but the rest is all post HDR treatment to help with the movement.
